PROJECTS
Yanco Glen (Graynic 100%)
The Company received positive rock chip sample results from the Yanco Glen project in New South Wales. While only limited sampling was conducted along the historic Anaconda mine workings, results are encouraging, with gold recording between 1.9g/t and 2.37g/t and copper between 1.22% and 13.60%. Graynic has now completed a soil sampling project for this prospect and results will be released when they are available.

Copper Ridge (Graynic 100%)
The company recently completed a geochemical and rock-chip sampling program at the Copper Ridge project located 75 km north north-east of Broken Hill in eastern New South Wales. The project represents a virgin copper occurrence by modern exploration standards as the lease has never been held as an exploration license. There has been no drilling or any other work conducted on the lease since historic mining activities around 125 years ago. Copper Ridge represents an exciting target for the Company and results of the current program should be available early November 2007.
Wertago (Graynic 100%)
Graynic Metals Limited recently concluded a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) with Proto Resources and Investments Limited (“Proto”) (ASX Code: PRW) relating to Graynic’s Wertago prospect in NSW.
The Wertago prospect is located 170 km north-east of Broken Hill in eastern New South Wales. The prospect contains historic copper mines of the Wertago Copper Field, and the Nutherungie Silver fields and is located along strike from Black Range’s Grasmere project.
Under the terms of the Farm-In and Joint Venture agreement, Graynic will grant to Proto the exclusive rights to explore the Wertago prospect and Proto shall be entitled to earn up to an 80% interest in the Wertago prospect by spending a minimum of $1 million on exploration on the tenements within 42 months from the commencement date of the agreement. The agreement has been structured in three phases, and also allows for the issue of a minimum of 500,000 in Proto shares to Graynic.
Under the first phase of the agreement, Proto will be obliged to spend a minimum of $150,000 within six months of the commencement of the Agreement, which would include assessment and interpretation of airborne EM; design, collection and interpretation of ground EM follow up; and geochemistry over a number of historical prospects and/or EM anomalies. Proto is able to withdraw from the Agreement at the completion of the first phase with no beneficial interest being transferred from Graynic to Proto.
As part of the second phase, Proto commits to a minimum exploration investment commitment of $350,000 and a maximum exploration investment commitment of $500,000 over an 18 month period to earn a 60% interest in the Wertago prospect. At the completion of Phase Two any unused funds above $350,000 would be paid to Graynic as shares up to the maximum $500,000 amount.
As part of the third phase, Proto will furthermore commit to $500,000 of exploration investment expenditure within 18 months to earn 80% of the project and will issue Graynic with an additional 500,000 shares at completion of this phase.
Proto will act as Joint Venture Manager and have responsibility for design, implementation and interpretation of surveys and work programs during this time, including any land access negotiations or other requirements.
